Abstract: A thermal blanket (28) for use in connection with a spacecraft (10) or spacecraft component for providing a thermal control coating. The thermal blanket (28) includes a plastic substrate (22) on which is deposited a silicon film (24) by a vacuum deposition process. The silicon film (24) provides a relatively high infrared light transmission and moderate absorption of high energy bandwidths in the solar spectrum that allows for the reflectance of high energy visible light and the emittance of infrared radiation. Additionally, the silicon film (24) is a hard, robust coating that provides resistance to humidity and other corrosive environments.

Abstract: A fluid controller (17) to control flow to a steering cylinder (19) is modified to
include a selector valve assembly (41,73) having two operating positions. In a first
position ("R" in FIG. 1), the selector valve (73) permits fluid flow though the main fluid
path (53) in the normal manner, as would be used when the vehicle is in a "roading"
mode. In a second position ("W" in FIG. 1 and in FIG. 3), the selector valve (73) blocks
flow through the fluid meter (43) which normally provides the follow-up movement (51)
to the controller valving (31,33), and bypasses the fluid meter in a "working" mode.
Thus, the normal flow rate can be achieved by merely rotating the steering wheel (27) an
amount which corresponds to the desired deflection of the controller valving (31,33),
without the need for the continuous rotation of the steering wheel, as required during
normal steering.

IPC: F02P11/02
Filed: 2001-07-20
Abstract: A capacitor discharge engine ignition system includes an ignition coil
having a primary winding and a secondary winding for coupling to an engine ignition
spark plug. A first electronic switch has primary current conducting electrodes in circuit
with an ignition charge storage capacitor and the primary winding of the ignition coil, and
a control electrode responsive to trigger signals for operatively connecting the ignition
charge storage capacitor to discharge through the primary winding of the ignition coil.
A charge/trigger coil arrangement generates periodic signals in synchronism with
operation of the engine. The charge coil generates a charge signal to charge the ignition
charge storage capacitor, while the trigger coil generates a trigger signal for triggering
discharge of the capacitor through the ignition coil. An electronic circuit for controlling
timing of the trigger signals as a function of engine speed includes a second electronic
switch in the form of an SCR having primary anode and cathode current conducting
electrodes operatively connected to the control electrode ofthe first electronic switch, and
a control gate electrode. An RC circuit, including a resistor and a capacitor, is
operatively connected to the charge coil and the gate electrode of the SCR to prevent
application of trigger signals to the control electrode of the first electronic switch during
occurrence of the charge signal, and thereby control timing of application of the trigger
signal to the control electrode of the first electronic switch. A third electronic switch has
primary current conducting electrodes connected between the trigger coil and the control
electrode of the first electronic switch, and a control electrode connected through a zener
diode to the ignition charge storage capacitor. The third electronic switch prevents
application of trigger signals to the control electrode of the first electronic switch at low
engine speeds until the voltage stored on the ignition charge storage capacitor exceeds
the zener breakdown voltage of the zener diode.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for
configuring a telecommunication system comprising at
least one sending entity and one receiving entity
between which one and the same link ensures the
transmission of several transport channels of different
qualities of service. The sending entity performs a
rate matching between the various qualities of service,
on completion of which the various qualities of service
are multiplexed. 
     The matching rate specific to each quality of
service is determined on the basis of a first parameter
(E q ) representative of the ratio Eb/I and of a second
parameter (P q ) representative of the maximum puncture
rate specific to the quality of service considered. 
     Application to a mobile telephony network.

Abstract: A method of verifying that defect management area
(DMA) information is generated or updated normally when a
disc recording and reproducing apparatus performs
reinitialization with clearing of defect lists without
certification, and a test apparatus therefore. The method
includes performing the reinitialization using a test disc
(207) with test reference information, and generating test
information (213) from the defect management information
which is generated after the reinitialization; and
comparing reference information expected from the test
reference information with the test information to provide
the result of verification of the test information.
Accordingly, a user can check within a short time whether
a given disc recording and reproducing apparatus correctly
generates or updates DMA information in a reinitialization
mode, and costs can be saved by not requiring a
manufacturer to produce and provide test discs.
